How exactly do bad beat jackpots work? They've always confused me lol.

Do sites consider a bad beat to be a one outer?

It varies from room to room. Live rooms usually are more lax (because they deal out far fewer hands) so a bad beat usually starts and Aces Full of Kings.

Most of the online poker rooms work their Bad Bad Jackpots like this:

If you four of a kind 8's or better and you lose the hand, you just hit the Bad Beat Jackpot. To qualify for the jackpot, you must be playing at a designated Bad Beat table and both of your hole cards and both of your opponent's hole cards must play.

For example, a few nights ago I hit a straight flush. I lost because my opponent hit a royal flush. This happened in a tournament, not at a bad beat table, so no jackpot. Had that happened at a Bad Beat table, I'd have been IN THE MONEY!

The way it is paid out is typically as follows:
Roughly 50% of the Jackpot is paid to the player who had the losing Bad Beat hand.
Roughly 25% goes to the player with the winning hand.
The remaining 25% is distributed to the other players at the table.

Thank you for clearing this up for me.

So even the other players not involved in the hand get some money? That's very interesting!
